The difference would be the screen size. iPhone& iPod Touch= 480-by-320 iPod Classic=320-by-240
You can play a mp4 on most computers but you need to have the right screen size to play back on a iPhone or iPod.

I notice in Quicktime that you can also export the file to an option titled "Movie to iPod." Anybody know the difference in exporting it as a "Movie to Mpg-4" versus "Movie to iPod?" I guess the iPod can play either.

I opened the movie in QuickTime, then Exported it to my desktop as an mp4. Due to the size this took a long time but once done I then imported it into iTunes and I then docked my iTouch and went into the movie files and there it was. I clicked on it and am listening and watching it as I type this so indeed Quicktime is all you need to get a movie to work with iPod, iTouch or iPhone.

I have done this before for I kept sending video's in some of my Daddy Mac newsletters and one of the guys ask why he couldn't view the video on his iPhone, so I did the checking and discovered what I was doing wrong (not converting to mp4. I did this routine, emailed one to myself and could view the video on the iPhone. John On Feb 23, 2009, at 8:12 PM, Greg Schoettmer wrote: Thanks John. I did try that without any luck. I had saved the file to my desktop, opened Handbrake and Handbrake would not recognize the file. I tried it in .avi, .dv and .mov format. I played with the file in every way I could think of with no luck. BUT I think I found the answer - at least one way to skin the cat. I reopened the original file in iMovie and there is an option to save the file in iPod format (see the Share menu). That saved the file an it works like a champ. That's fine but what if I do not have the original movie file? If someone sends me a QT file, what do I do? I don't have an answer for this one.

I want to have the file on my iPod Touch to view (and show off the kids). I drag the Quicktime file over the iTunes icon and it is loaded in the movie section of iTunes. I select that movie to be synced with my iPod Touch. However, when syncing, I get the message that the file was not synced with the iPod Touch "because it cannot be played on this iPod." You've got to be kidding me. An iPod Touch cannot play a QT file? There's got to be a way. Anybody have any suggestions?
